    “I've had the pleasure of working with Sarah in developing our company values and through the leadership programme that she ran at Network Waitaki. Sarah was engaging, passionate, and knowledgeable and used a mix of theory, group participation and real-life examples to make the sessions enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for leadership training or to facilitate company-wide collaboration.”

    “Sarah has been absolutely brilliant in facilitating a full staff planning day wherein she led us through a structured process which helped us to focus on our vision, objectives, goals and values. She related extremely well to all our staff and provided guidance and prompting as and when necessary but allowed our staff to brainstorm and develop a strategy that they have ownership of. Sarah is highly skilled, very professional and brings a wealth of experience that contributes to ensuring a positive atmosphere and great outcomes. I highly recommend Sarah to any prospective client."

    “Sarah is very well placed to facilitate sessions where groups need improvement in their relationships and culture, particularly where there have been ongoing problems. Sarah has great skills in team building and leadership. She is very approachable but also brings a rigour to her facilitation that I think distinguishes her apart from others that work in the same space. That means she appeals to business-minded people (who respond to facts and figures) plus creative types (who want to visualise and relate to stories).”

Are You Ready for Coaching?

Coaching is a powerful tool for professional and personal growth. A great coach acts as your sounding board, challenges your thinking, and helps you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. But the real work, and the real results, come from you.

If you’re ready to commit to self-reflection, embrace change, and step outside your comfort zone, coaching can be transformational. Ask yourself:

✅ Am I ready to work on my professional and personal growth?
✅ Am I open to new ideas and ways of doing things?
✅ Am I prepared to tackle tough challenges and celebrate wins?
✅ Can I commit time and effort to make coaching work?
✅ Do I understand the client does the work in coaching, not the coach?
